Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of seed oil content and fatty acid composition in sunflower through the analysis of intact seeds, husked seeds, meal and oil by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy

Begoña Pérez-Vich, +2 more
- 01 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate the oil content and fatty acid composition of sunflower seeds was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of seed weight, oil content and fatty acid composition in intact single seeds of rapeseed ( Brassica napus} L.) by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy

Leonardo Velasco, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that a reliable estimation of seed weight, oil content, oleic acid and erucic acid content in intact, single seeds of rapeseed is possible by using NIRS technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemotaxonomic significance of fatty acids and tocopherols in Boraginaceae

Leonardo Velasco, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1999 - 
TL;DR: A collection of 45 accessions (36 species, 20 genera) of the family Boraginaceae was evaluated for oil content, fatty acid composition, tocopherol content and composition, and fatty acids and toCopherols were suggested to have potential chemotaxonomic value in this family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variability for the fatty acid composition of the seed oil in a germplasm collection of the genus Brassica

Leonardo Velasco, +2 more
- 01 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that NIRS is an effective technique to assess variability for oleic, linoleic, Linolenic and erucic acid in intact-seed samples of multiple Brassica species, provided that calibration equations be developed from sets containing large taxonomic and chemical variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative trait loci for broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) resistance in sunflower.

Begoña Pérez-Vich, +6 more
- 13 Feb 2004 - 
TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that resistance to broomrape in sunflower is controlled by a combination of qualitative, race-specific resistance affecting the presence or absence of broomrape and a quantitative non-race specific resistance affecting their number.
